Same here. Had to fill up yesterday. Queues everywhere but get this. This whole thing started with Asda saying they had a few drivers off. My local BP, Gulf and Shell are all rationing fuel. The local Asda isnt!

I think the fuel is being rationed here, not tried yet, though my cars go through fuel at an alarming rate, so it won’t be long.

Be interesting to see what they say about a Ferrari needing a fill up, is it essential sir, yep for medicinal purposes!

Yep same here in Hampshire. No where has any fuel. Can't believe our country is full of selfish fucktards... can't go to work tomorrow as only have enough to get there and not back.

I blame the media.. mainly BBC reporting this as a crisis with HGV drivers.. always the same.. all happened in lockdown when media went on about food and bog roll shortages.

I really do despire with our general public and lack of common sense.. all this fuel panic buy is now driving up fuel cost and in turn inflation... then that will drive higher interest rates..

Oh and then the retards will blame the government for their stupidity..

Sorry rant over..

Defo getting an i4 M50 now. Only way is EV

Just spoke to a neighbour who has just spent an hour and a half driving around trying to find fuel to no avail

I just responded in a nice PC calm manner "but you are just creating your own problem"

What I wanted to say

To be fair, what if he had to drive for an important family event, let's just say a funeral and that extra £8 meant he then had the range.

Lorry drivers could use less by not having their heaters on at night and take wooly socks.

It's all subjective...

I got 14.8 mpg average over the weekend in the M3. I normally get less, but it was quite busy on the roads with people looking for fuel.
